From Curbed Atlanta: 

"Atlanta’s cracked and crumbling sidewalks have long hindered people with physical handicaps who are just trying to get around town.

But as of June 11, three Atlanta wheelchair users have lodged a class action lawsuit against the city, claiming its walkway infrastructure isn’t in keeping with the Americans with Disabilities Act, a federal statute that protects differently abled people from discrimination.

The lawsuit describes beat-up concrete, broken stone walkways, and hazardous overgrowth of trees or bushes blocking pedestrian thoroughfares—many times even for people who don’t use wheelchairs to get around."
